Topic: Spore - A Never Ending Story (Read 2042 times)

Hello and welcome to what I hope to be an interesting and successful experiment.

Over on Civ Fanatics, I modding a NES called Spore NESLife. I am going to try and attempt to to run the game simultaneously between the two forums. The only difference being, it is more likely you guys have Spore.

Rules

Anyone can create 1 new species per turn. No more than 1 species per person per update. (Unless I say so)

A: Brand New Species

You can start from scratch with an entirely new species, in which case you get 3 T1 parts to start with. Brand new species will be simple creatures, like rodents or small animals.

These new species will be more and more primitive compared to the most evolved species. I'd actively discourage it at later stages.

The other, preferred, option:

B: Evolve a Species

This is where things depart a bit. Instead of genes, there are parts, which come in four Tiers (or as they are set out in the CC, columns)

Your options here are (choose up to 3) to Add a Tier 1 part Improve a part by one tier Decrease a part by one tier Replace one T1 part with another in the same category Replicate a part (can be done with anything except mouths - there is no stat change in this instance) Remove a part completely.

If you look in the link above, I have listed all the part rows, with their names given on Spore Wiki.

Ambience

All insects, microorganisms, fish and plants are NPCs and are unstatted.

Joining

This game does not require any commitment on your part. To join, you can just post a new species/evolution thing. Its up to you if you ever come back to see how it does.

New Species Template: [reminder: this will be a very primitive species compared to stuff that already exists, you need to be very inventive here!](new species name) : (player name) Parts (you can start with three): [reminder: one of these must be a mouth]Description: (Behaviour, specific diet, habitat, etc.)

Amphible: NPCParts: Amphibian Mouth T2, Misc Eyes T2, Amphibian Feet T2 (Thin Legs)Description: The direct descendant of the Amphibidon, it is much the same in terms of behavior.

Aviace: NPCParts: Songbird Mouth T1, Reptillian Eyes T1, Bird/Reptile Feet T1 (Bird Legs)Description: Related to the False Bird (below) but the beat is designed for plant matter such as fruit.

False Bird: Vertinari118Parts: Bird of Prey Mouth T1, Misc. Eyes T2, Amphibian Feet T1 (Thin Legs)Description: Here we see that the mouth has chitinised and created a beak. Intially used to help break out of the egg, and was lost, the creature now keeps this beak to feed with.
